Research On The Influencing Factors And Development Path Of The Effectiveness Of Digitally Empowered Rural Governance

The No.1 Central Document in 2022 proposes to comprehensively promote the key tasks of rural revitalization,indicating that digitalization is the direction of action for agricultural and rural modernization.Under the guidance of the Central Document No.1,digital technology has become the only way to promote rural revitalization,and it is also a powerful tool to realize the modernization of rural governance.Therefore,promoting rural governance with digitization has become the consensus of the government and all sectors of society.The research on rural digital construction and development has become a new direction of rural governance research.At the present stage,the research has discussed the application value and operation of digital technology in rural governance at the theoretical level,but ignored the analysis of how to use digital empowerment to achieve effective rural governance from the perspective of process;At the practical level,it pays more attention to the case study of rural governance,and rarely compares the actual situation and situation of rural governance in China based on multiple case studies.Therefore,the focus of this study is to explain the influencing factors and condition configuration of digital technology to promote the effectiveness of rural governance.Based on the holistic governance theory and empowerment theory,this study constructs the analysis framework of influencing factors on the effectiveness of digital empowerment rural governance,selects 33 cases related to digital empowerment in the typical cases of national rural governance released by the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas as the research samples,selects three dimensions and six influencing factors as the conditional variables affecting the effectiveness of digital empowerment rural governance,and the personal dimensions are knowledge literacy and operational ability;The organizational dimension is multi participation and platform undertaking;The community dimension is the institutional system and governance structure.Whether to win other excellent case awards,whether the rural socio-economic development is significant and whether the villagers’ satisfaction is improved are selected as the outcome variables.On the basis of case sample assignment analysis,fsqca3.0 software for qualitative comparative analysis to explore how different influencing factors in rural governance cases are combined and how to promote rural governance to carry out research effectively.The research shows that,firstly,diversified participation is a necessary condition to realize the effectiveness of digital enabled rural governance.In the case of the better effect of rural governance,the more diversified organizations using digital technology to participate in rural governance.Knowledge literacy,institutional system and governance structure are the core conditional variables that affect the effectiveness of digital enabled rural governance,and operating ability,platform undertaking and are the marginal conditional variables.Secondly,through the combination of six conditional variables,it is found that there are eight effective configuration paths of digital enabled rural governance.According to the differences of the core variables of the path,it is summarized into four effective modes of rural governance.The three-dimensional linkage of individual organization community is the governance mode with the highest coverage;System driven,system is still the main way for the government to guide rural governance effectively;Individual organization support type,relying on the knowledge literacy of villagers and the diversified participation of organizations,its rural governance is still relatively effective;Organization community dual core type needs to pay attention to the practical operation ability of digital technology of villagers in order to achieve better rural governance performance.Finally,this study puts forward the development path of the effectiveness of digital enabled Rural Governance around the aspects of knowledge literacy,multiple participation and institutional system.First,we should cultivate farmers and activate the endogenous driving force of rural development.We should not only help villagers establish Internet thinking,but also improve their digital knowledge and skills.Second,we should co govern in multiple ways and expand the main participants in rural governance.On the one hand,we should build a team of rural governance talents,on the other hand,we should strengthen the coordination and cooperation of governance subjects.Third,we should improve the system and promote the construction of rural technology governance system,including the establishment of online and offline connectivity mechanisms and the establishment of resource sharing cooperation mechanisms.
